It has taken me decades to find my path to a happy, healthy and fulfilling life. Now that I have experienced the energy, passion and contentment of what it is like, I am inspired to help you change your life too. I believe that having loving relationships, a satisfying career, regular exercise and a spiritual foundation are vital to our well-being. Coupled with a diet that is wholesome and natural, our mind, body and soul will thrive and flourish.
I retired from a very successful money management career of 15 years. During which I worked in Hong Kong, San Francisco and New York managing portfolios invested in Asia. After retirement I made San Francisco my home. I was a volunteer crisis counselor with San Francisco Suicide Prevention for five years. I also volunteered as a crisis line counselor for the Child Abuse Prevention Council in San Francisco for three years.
After many years of counseling experience, I have become very proficient in working with diverse client groups. I believe that being able to actively listen and having compassion for my clients are keys to being a great counselor. My foremost hobby is cooking delicious, simple and healthy meals. I am also passionate about maintaining an active lifestyle in which I enjoy hiking, cycling, swimming as well as working out in the gym.
I have chosen Health Counseling as my second career because I am inspired to help my clients live a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life. I do not advocate a particular diet or theory but instead give credence to bio-individualism. I believe in helping my clients learn how to reduce stress through lifestyle and dietary changes. Every client is different and each program is tailor-made to specific goals and needs.
I am a Certified Health Counselor from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Columbia University. I am board certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. Apart from having my private practice counseling individual clients, I am also the nutrition and wellness consultant for San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Council and the APA Family Support Services in San Francisco. I conduct regular workshops for their clients on various topics of nutrition and wellness.
